Will GST revenue buoyancy continue for the rest of the Fiscal year 2024?

The GST collections trend in India upto June 2023 in FY23-24:

April 2023: Rs. 1,87,035 crore (highest ever)
May 2023: Rs. 1,57,079 crore
June 2023: Rs. 1,61,497 crore

The average monthly gross GST collection for the first half of FY23-24 is Rs. 1,69,000 crore. This is 12% higher than the average monthly collection for the same period in FY22-23.

The GST collections have been consistently growing in the current financial year. This is due to a number of factors, including the strong growth of the Indian economy, the increasing compliance with the GST law, and the government's efforts to boost digitization and transparency in the tax system.

The average monthly gross GST collection for the first quarter of the FY 2021-22, FY 22-23 & FY 23-24 are Rs. 1.10 lakh crore, Rs. 1.51 lakh crore and Rs. 1.69 lakh crore respectively, the finance ministry said.

The gross revenue has crossed the 1.6 lakh crore mark for the fourth time since the inception of GST in the country.

With the Economy Budgeted to grow at a Nominal Growth rate of 10.5% in this fiscal, the GOI is confident of reaching its GST revenue targets comfortably, if the same momentum is sustained for the rest of the year.

The second half of the year will be crucial in that respect since the Global recession is expected to hit the country's imports and exports and consequently this will impinge on GST revenues.

GOI and RBI may have to work with Growth supporting measures at that time.Let us cross the bridge when we come to it!

India's Semiconductor play-now only semi-final!

India's Semiconductor Manufacturing in 2026–2030: PLI Impact, Global Standing, and AI-Era Policy Needs How India's PLI scheme is building semiconductor capacity, what it means for global supply chains, and what government must do next as AI demand reshapes the industry. 14 min read Modern semiconductor fab with Indian innovation flags and growth trajectory Semiconductors-Policy in India India's PLI scheme commits $10 billion to build semiconductor manufacturing capacity over 5 years, with TATA and Micron fab projects expected to deliver 1–2 million wafers monthly by 2027. By 2030, India could claim 2–3% of global semiconductor production - a major jump from today's <1%, though still far behind Taiwan and South Korea. Geopolitically, this matters: as supply chains de-risk away from Taiwan and China, India becomes a critical third hub for mature-node and memory-chip manufacturing. However, success hinges on three critical gaps the government must address. First...

Why Indian Rupee is falling steeply against US dollar?

The Indian Rupee recently crossed the 97 mark against the US Dollar, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. If you've been tracking exchange rates or planning a trip abroad, you've probably felt the pinch. Everything from imported electronics to cooking oil is getting more expensive. And your money just doesn't stretch as far as it used to. This isn't a one-day blip. The rupee has been on a steady downward slide for months, and the reasons go deeper than most headlines suggest. It's a mix of what's happening inside India's economy and what's happening across the globe. Trade deficits, foreign investors pulling out money, rising oil prices, the US Federal Reserve keeping interest rates high — all of these are pulling the rupee in the wrong direction at the same time.
